Who is Jesus?

whoisjesus-(2).jpg It's cliché to say it, but that doesn't make it any less true:  you can talk about God all you want, but bring up Jesus and suddenly things get tense.  Why is that?  It's probably because in the person of Jesus of Nazareth we have the clearest and most plausible claim to be able to answer the most profound questions of human existence:  who is God really and what does God want from me?

If Jesus is who he claimed to be, then that question has been answered, but answered in a way that many find too constraining or too convicting or just too uncomfortable. 

It's no wonder, then, that in recent years there has been a concerted effort to re-imagine Jesus, or at least to undermine the historical reliability of the canonical Gospels which claim to tell us the truth about him. 

In the face of this revisionist blitzkrieg, many Christians end up clinging to simple faith that their understanding of Jesus is accurate.

Faith is good, but understanding the facts that our faith is built upon is better, because our faith in the facts make us bold enough to engage and speak truth into the conversations that are already taking place all around us.

At the 2012 Word Conference you’ll hear cutting edge evidence for the reliability of the Gospels from some of the world’s most respected teachers and researchers. Come be encouraged, equipped and empowered to speak up for Jesus in an increasingly skeptical world. 

 

 

Featuring some of the world's foremost authorities on the reliability of the Gospels!

The WORD Conference and Why it Matters
A friend recently drew my attention to an article posted in the Christian Science Monitor about the “Coming Evangelical Collapse.” The entire article is thought provoking and worth the read as he predicts both the collapse of evangelical Christianity as we know it, and the rise from that collapse of something more vital and full of integrity. I wanted to draw attention to two of the reasons he thinks evangelical Christianity is in danger (points 2 and 6 in his list of 7) and how this relates to the upcoming Word Conference...
